Preventive Care

Good oral hygiene habits are not only good for your teeth – they’re also good for your overall health. Many studies conducted over the past few years have shown that healthy teeth and gums contribute in a positive way to our overall health.

At Bulverde North Family Dental, we encourage our patients to practice good oral hygiene habits on a regular basis.

What You Should Know about Preventive Care

Most of us know how important it is to practice good oral hygiene habits at home. This should include brushing your teeth at least twice a day, and flossing between teeth at least once a day. Depending on your personal habits and family genetics, your teeth and gums may require even more attention in order to remain healthy.

But just as important to your sound oral health are regular trips to your dentist for professional exams and cleanings. No matter how diligent you may be in brushing and flossing, you’ll never be able to remove all the plaque and tartar that build up over time. Left unattended, this buildup can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Your dentist can identify any problems during a regular exam. He or she will also check for signs of more serious problems, such as oral cancer. Many times, signs of this type of condition can go undetected, which is one of the reasons why regular exams and professional cleanings are so important for you and your family.

At Bulverde North Family Dental, we have years of experience in treating patients of all ages – from the very youngest to the oldest members of your family. It’s never too early (or too late) to practice preventive care!
